No i have not..
nor am i questioning if it does or does not have merit....that is beside the point....
The point was if something has artistic value....can it still be condemned on the merit of it message?...
my point.. yes it can and is commonly done...
the question if something is art is not the same as the merit of its message..
In fact art ..a book or film can, with skillful editing, have its message changed 180 degrees (pro become anti, anti becomes pro).. and still remain art...
Its very common it music to take say a patriotic song..and alter the tempo and tone to make it mock the same message
Well and good. In this case the message is not problematic in the way you hear from people who assume they know what it’s about. Besides I can disagree with the message and still enjoy great art. Wagner’s operas have a moral vision that’s pretty repugnant - to take one example.
